Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice
Lunch: Turkey sandwich with cranberry
Afternoon snack: 2 milky way dark, coke zero
Dinner: Stuffed spinach and mushroom pizza from Zacchry’s
Dessert: Experimental persimmon cake (for Suzanne’s dad). It was way better than I was expecting… more like a carrot cake (which I also don’t love). So I’d never order it for my birthday, but I started with the smallest sliver I could cut and ended up going back for more.
